Atlas Cyber Cafe
Atlas Cyber Cafe & Bar. It used to be just Atlas Cyber Cafe, but then the Storm hit. Many internet cafés went under, as replacing the hardware was prohibitively expensive in the aftermath. Atlas, however, was not only restored but completely refurbished and renovated, putting the owners deeply in debt. When it reopened, it had a separate bar area where alcoholic drinks were served. Although expensive and risky, the investment to reopening has turned out worthwhile for Atlas is now the nerd hangout in the area.
Atlas Cyber Cafe & Bar is in a three-story building, easily recognized by the electric blue letters of the name together with the logo of Atlas holding the globe. The bar is on the first floor and the cafeteria on the second floor, accessible by a stairway. The third floor holds the offices. In a way, the bar and cafeteria are parts of the same space, for the center of the second floor, right above the small dance floor of the bar, is open, making the cafeteria into a sort of balcony over the bar.
The prices are higher than average, but Atlas has free wifi, and the tables have liquid-proof touch screen displays. Computers, mouses, and other hardware is available for rent, and video games, particularly multiplayer ones, are playable on a pay per hour basis. Atlas is a sponsor of a local e-sport team, G1-Ants. They can often be found practicing on the second floor.
Atlas is owned by the Snyders. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are a couple in their 50s and semi-retired. They are rarely present these days, except as online presences, leaving the day to day management to their daughter, Laura Snyder. She is a cheerful brunette in her late 20s, a bit on the short side and most often found either in the office or cafeteria.
